Can't wait for the next big tourney with many players from the team in it, maybe they'll show some integrity!
GOGO ROOT!

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, cause ROOT's getting everybody out there.

Holy shit, 6 months ago I would never have thought ROOT would get someone like ToD. I was worried when they restarted about their financial stability, but I'm glad they're doing well.

Faster than a Zerg's creep post-queen buff indeed.
Must've been one meaty sponsor and many good contracts for you to get all of this so quickly.

Well I think 2 things.

1. They have a big sponsor incoming.

2. They aren't paying them much if any at all.

I doubt twitch sponsorship gives them that much money so I think they may just be joining in the hopes that when all these popularish players get on a team a sponsor will want them.
When I think of something else, something will go here
